a prayer request

i actually had something else to post today... but it seems there is something so much more pressing than my silly story. my dear friend needs prayer, and it broke my heart to hear her say desperately. somehow the bad cells have broken through all of our prayers and she is asking for wisdom for her doctor, so that he might find the right thing to fight these cells. i would also ask for God to give him a compassionate heart today.

and isn't it just like this beautiful soul to not ask for anything for herself? but i am asking. for her resolve to remain strong, for her to see hope in her doctor's eyes, for her to feel cushioned by prayer, no matter what the plan might be. for there to still be a plan... please God. and always, for healing on this earth. even through my tears and heartache, and facts, i cannot give up on this part of my prayer.

update: thank you for your prayers... for ann, for her doctors, and for me. i just received a note from her that insurance approved new medication and it is a go. so... when she comes to your mind, would you pray that the new medication will knock these bad cells right from her body? xoxo

hello from sunny florida!

i'm a new england girl﻿, heart and soul... but florida has become part of me over the last 20 years, and it has become home. so here i am. daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend... writer.

i often wonder if that last part is real... i never really knew i was a writer. but the words keep coming. i write to share the gifts that God has showered me with, not to focus on the gifts, but on the grace. i write to make room for more in my mind and heart, and to remember. and when i think maybe the grace words have been used up, He tucks a few more into my soul and i keep writing.
